  The sins  of the leadership and followership in Nigeria from the foundation of the myriad of problems  affecting the country. This assertion was made by Rev(Dr.) Olaolu Oyekanmi of the Amos World Outreach, the Christian Fellowship Evangelical Mission(CFEM), Moniya-Iseyin, Ijaiye-Orile, Ibadan, Nigeria. ''The major problem of the country revolves around the leadership and the followership. They have committed sins. If Nigerians can easily repent of their sins and change their behavior, activities and attitude, all will change for the better.'' ''The problems are not the change of leadership or change of political parties, but have more to do with the change of mind. If Nigerians don't change, things will not change for the better. Those-in Authority and Those-in-Charge are from different homes. There must be a change,'' Rev(Dr.) Oyekanmi stated. He also disclosed that a three day crusade tagged ''The Only Way to Save you and Nigeria''

Democracy in the Claws of Dictatorship

When the Government is desperate and resolute to cling to power, in the face of the unfavorable outcome of elections, election and the existence of political parties opposing the government do not constitute evidences of democracy. Indeed, a number of countries have the forms of democracy, but the reality of dictatorship. Without doubt there is a vital difference between democracy and dictatorship, however, it varies from one country to another. Notably, the Civil Service must be efficient and must render equally, good service without strings of partisanship, for the people to be reassured that they government they elected will carry out their wishes and at the same time fulfill promises made. Also rules and regulations exist to protect Civil Servants from the least suspicion of political bias;they are not allowed to present themselves for elective positions or partake in political activities. But unfortunately, this is not the case at all levels of government.
Obviously, one of the necessities of for good government include a non-party permanent Civil Service, comprised of people chosen for ability and not other considerations. Interestingly, visionary and focused leaders always meditate on Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar became a dictator in 49 B.C and same was conferred on him for life. Those close to him played important roles. However, in March 15, 44 B.C he was assassinated by those close to him, notably Marcus and Decimus Brutus and C. Cassius.
